Their developers weren't just executing tasks in isolation they were deeply connected to the project leads, allowing for fast decision-making, efficient problem-solving, and a smooth workflow.

If theres one area for potential enhancement, it would be proactively offering more visibility into future feature scalability and Ai capabilities. That said, I also recognise that this is a tricky balance ultimately, as the CEO, its my role to define the vision and long-term roadmap.
